Eldest Child and Little Dude sample the cake batter

The birthday cupcake, complete with perfect icing peak.

The original idea was that Rory was going to decorate all the other cupcakes. She got two done, and then directed me on the rest.

Two from this plate are Rory Originals, as well.

Little Dude lets me know that the hat will not be staying on his head long.

In fact, he snatched it off his head before I could even get a photo.

Finally one!

He happily wears the hat his sister picked out, however.

Wondering why everyone is singing...

Mmmm..... Wax.

What the hell is this thing?

DO. NOT. WANT.

Hanging out in the back yard, reflecting on his life.

Finally happy for the first time on the day of his party. Because he's dirty and everyone is finally leaving him alone.

The Taggie blanket. Don't leave home without it.
